Hello Orienteers!

Some 144 of you showed up at Sailor Bar on the American River to participate in our first Orienteering Meet of 2014. Congratulations to all of you. It was a beautiful day, and everyone had a great time.

Thanks to all of the volunteers, and to Dwight Freund, who set three good courses. John and Arthur Herrick, representing Boy Scout Troop 88, had the fastest time on the White Course, 38:42. GCO's own Marsha Jacobs was the fastest on the Yellow Course, with a time of 59:58. Francois Leonard of BAOC, with a time of 34:52, finished in first place on the Orange Course. There were numerous representatives from the Boy Scouts, and the Rio Linda JROTC also had many cadets. There was even a representative from a Swedish Club!

Our next meet will be on Saturday, April 26, at Sierra College in Rocklin. I hope to see all of you there.
